Application: Point cloud information generating system, control method of point cloud information generating system, and control program of point cloud information generating system (Patent ID: US20230316644A1)
The patent filed by Topcon Corp describes a point cloud information generating system that includes a device for generating three-dimensional point cloud information on an object and a cross reality (XR) generating device wearable by a user. The XR device captures image information based on the user's line of sight and displays it, allowing the generation of point cloud information for the specified object. The system can generate point cloud information for specific parts of the object based on execution instruction information displayed on the XR device.
Additionally, the system includes an optical axis deflecting part in the point cloud information generating device to emit ranging light and deflect its direction to focus on specific parts of the object. The XR device may have a highly reflective portion for unique identification. The system can also display blueprint information on the XR device. The control method involves acquiring image information based on the user's line of sight and generating point cloud information for the specified object. The patent also covers a computer-readable medium storing instructions for implementing the functions of acquiring image information and generating point cloud information in the system.
